Did anyone see the O'Reilly Factor just now. They had this Professor Of New Testament at Notre Dame who claimed that Jesus was a socialist.

I don’t watch that ol fool
I am sure this interview will be on the website in the next hour or so.
So I assume she’s Catholic......like the Pope who said atheists can go to Heavan.....just sayin.....
So how did O Reilly perform? Did he question her?
I gather she catholic since she’s at ND but maybe not. She has a book out called Christian persecution a myth.
She was not stupid. She was a liberal college professor.
(wink)
O’Reilly did a good job of correcting her pointing out she was taking things out of context and did not understand that certain things were parables.
Did she explain why Lydia, the lady who made and sold purple cloth, did not sell all her possessions but was still praised in the Bible? Lydia kept her nice house, which she used for hospitality.
There’s no evidence Joseph of Arimathea sold all his stuff, either, which is why he had the means to give Jesus a nice burial.
Not stupid, willfully deluded. They do not want to believe in the real Jesus, so they make up their own version of Him to fit their desires. It’s not because they can’t comprehend what the Bible says; it’s just that they reject it.
She’s not alone either. Her basic premise is one of the things at the heart of “liberation” theology, and a cover that socialists have been using forever to disarm Christian opposition.
When he said things like this, how could Jesus not be a socialist?
—”I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.”
—”If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven.”
Yeah O'Reilly pointed that out but she had no reply. If this woman were just some dingbat with a website that would be one thing but for a professor of NT at ND to be this profoundly stupid is stunning.
If she is more stupid than Barbara Streisand, that is saying something.
As a Catholic she should know that Jesus founded a Church which explains Scripture. The Church teaches no such thing as Jesus a Socialist. In fact, the Popes have condemned Socialism.
What do you expect...?
BOR to actually have a competent educated theologian on his show to make him look stupid?
Never again.
Liberation Theology is built on Marxist-Catholic perversion. Widely taught
I didn’t think BOR was much brighter than his guest.
They don’t seem to understand that we ARE supposed to be generous and giving, caring for others. The key point is that it’s supposed to be done by US. Individually. God will bless us as we give.
The gospel is for individuals - it does not instruct us to give our money to some big black hole called government so they can squander it and spend it on, oh, say, Planned Parenthood. I’m sure Jesus just LOVES that kind of giving!
